Abstract :
Accurate software size measurement is an important factor to assure the success of software projects. COSMIC method is a widely used functional size measurement method. Improving the accuracy of COSMIC measurement concerns three factors: measurers, measurement process and software artifacts. In this paper, we proposed some combined control methods to improve the accuracy of COSMIC measurement. Experiments showed that these combined control methods can effectively improve the accuracy of COSMIC measurement.
